despite the claims of some here, the Seahawks and the Broncos 'opened' as basically a pick-em game - after a couple of days, the Broncos edged in front as the favorite - earlier this week, because so many in the media were favoring the Seahawks, I thought the betting line/odds must have changed to the Seahawks

seems the Broncos are still the favorite

Go Broncos & Countertrey

P A T I E N C E - The Redskins will improve the product on the field if Dan Snyder just let's Scott & his FO do their jobs Dan needs to stop screwing things up and let Scott get this franchise back together

Here's another tidbit. The Chief Line Originator is William Hill. This is where all the big casinos go for THE OPENING LINE.

“I can’t tell you who the winner’s going to be, but I can put a number out there for you, that might draw some two-way action and is somewhere in the ballpark.” said Nick Bogdanovich, the director of trading at William Hill U.S. “It’s what we do. We do it year in and year out, and you develop a feel for it.”

They know that square money is enthralled by favorites and falls hard for teams that have done a lot for them lately. The Broncos, for instance, not only covered against New England, but looked good doing it. It’s part of the reason Denver is currently the 2 ½-point favorite even though oddsmakers opened with the Seahawks — a team they believe is better — as a 2- to 2 ½-point favorite.

Please check your PMs for further clarity including your mis-quoting of me where you incorrectly assert I posted something I did not.
